This is a predatory mite just as small as a spider mite, by the way, one millimeter, two millimeters long, not more than that, running quickly, hunting, chasing the spider mites.

By the way, a meal for them for 24 hours is about five individuals of the spider mites, of the bad mites, or 15 to 20 eggs of the pest mites.

Have we ever heard of a dust mite?

I have one gram of those predatory mites.

Herb Potter's got tick fever, he's at his cabin by himself.

You see in the upper left corner, you see a single predatory mite.

Darren dust mite and his family moved in.

And this is the whole bunch of predatory mites.

This is a dust mite on a nanoreplica.

It releases this volatile chemical that goes out into the world and summons another species of mite that comes in and attacks the spider mite, defending the lima bean.

(a) International conference on Asian honeybees and bee mites, Bangkok, February 1992

One gram's 80,000 individuals, 80,000 individuals are good enough to control one acre, 4,000 square meters, of a strawberry plot against spider mites for the whole season of almost one year.

In general, I'm going to talk about insects and spiders, or mites, let us call them.

Insects, those six legged organisms and spiders or mites, the eight legged organisms.

And after five minutes, this is what you see just a typical dead corpse, shriveled, sucked out, dead corpse of the spider mite, and next to it, two satiated individuals of predatory mites, a mother on the left hand side, a young nymph on the right hand side.

I'll give you two examples, also from the garden lima beans. You know what a lima bean does when it's attacked by spider mites?

Here is a pest, devastating pest, a spider mite, because it does a lot of webbing like a spider.

And here you can see this lady in action on your left hand side just pierces, sucks the body fluids on the left hand side of the pest mite.

And Israeli strawberries, even more 80 percent of the pesticides, especially those aimed against pest mites in strawberries.

We know that there are these varroa mites that have introduced and caused a lot of losses, and we also have this new phenomenon, which I talked about last year, Colony Collapse Disorder.

And in 30,000 square meters of state of the art greenhouses, there, we are mass producing those predatory mites, those minute pirate bugs, those parasitic wasps, etc., etc.

Specific emphasis was given to providing communication support to the Special Programme for Food Security and related FAO priority programmes, such as communication assistance to the Pan African Rinderpest Campaign and the Caribbean Amblyoma Programme.

But some of the ticks are closely related to known carriers, and thus are potential carriers themselves. This debilitating and difficult to diagnose illness could thus be introduced to Costa Rica inadvertently by something as simple as an asymptomatic eco tourist.

The MRL for chlorpyrifos (a toxic substance found in some pesticides) in mangoes, for instance, has recently been tightened from 0.5 PPM to 0.05 PPM, that is 10 to 20 times stricter than the MRLs applied by other developed countries and the Codex recommended MRL.

More than 50 of the species on this planet are parasites of some form, including pathogens affecting humans, livestock, crops, and wildlife. But, relative to our overall knowledge of biodiversity, we have documented less than 10 of the world s pathogens.

This is a major concern because so much food depends on bees for pollination. The primary causes of this recent epidemic are germs and mites, but these have always been with us.
